Can I still earn SCs/Velocity points on Air NZ flights?

[IceMan007]

So I'm planning a trip to NZ (start of September), and I was hoping to experience Air NZ Premium Economy one last time but given the relationship breakdown and the October divorce settlement, will I earn SCs and all that on a flight if I was to book it today?

I can't seem to find anything on the Virgin/Velocity website that says otherwise, but the Airpoints/AirNZ website says that flights booked for travel on VA after April will not be earning SCs/Airpoints, so I'm wondering is it the same for Velocity members? Are AirNZ flights until October 27th still eligible for SCs/points (obviously if they were eligible to begin with).

Cheers

Yes ...

Current trans-Tasman arrangements will remain in place until 27th October and customers travelling before this date will be unaffected ...

I did SYD - AKL in premY with (Air)NZ several times, latest was Mar this year, and they (VFF) gave me 45 VA SC per trip.
Last year, did the same, and also got 45 too.
AKL - ADL in premY got me 60.
Enjoy while it lasts.
If you don't have Virgin's the Lounge membership, and are VFF PS, get the membership for $300 if you can afford it.
Nice touch, have done the AKL Koru, which is quite nice.
The SYD Koru should be good as well, I am doing my last run later this month, also in premY both ways.
After this, will be putting my "business" to KF and then transfer the points to VFF.
MEL Koru is in the basement of MEL T2, but at least has window views to the outside.
If you don't want Koru, (or to join the Virgin's the lounge), thats ok too.
Choose the evening 787 flight in premY if you can, newer plane.
Have done premY in both their 787 and 777, and would pick the 787s for cert.
If you do like windows views, either the day 777 or the evening 787, pick row 23 or 24 A/K at a stretch, as they have good views.
Rows 25/26 and the wing starts to block outside views.
